Question 6929
A road outside a built-up area has a lane reserved for road maintenance vehicles. Is this lane counted as just another lane for the purposes of the lane count?
- Yes, as a general rule.
- Yes, since it is subject to the same traffic rules.
- No, since it is reserved for certain vehicles.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, since it is reserved for certain vehicles.
A lane reserved for road maintenance vehicles, like the one on the right in the image with a pickup truck with red and white stripes, is excluded when you count lanes to apply lane-use rules. The same applies to any lane reserved for certain vehicles or certain maneuvers.
